Default 30K Maintenance?? 04 Honda Accord

Hey guys, well I own a 04 Honda Accord, and it's hit 30,000 miles. I was curious if anyone on here has access to a Schedule Maintenance guide. If so, can you post when and what the major service is? Thanks a million!

04 Honda Accord 4Cyl VTEC w/MAF Sensor

@ 30K, the service is very minimal. I'm sure they'll ...
+ change the oil and oil filter
+ change the air filter
+ drain and fill the transmission fluid
+ "inspect" the suspension and tires
+ "inspect" some hoses
+ and a whole bunch of other "inspections"

if you have your owners manual... theres a detailed list of things they recommend up to 200k miles.

eehhhh........Since its an enclosed system you really dont have to change it but, I dont go by that. It wont hurt to drain and refill.

I tend to change my tranny fluid every 15k miles....

First time I changed it though was around 50k. Following that i've been on point with the 15k intervals.
